What personality type is the Joker?

[Agent of Chaos]

But here is the real question: Which Joker are you talking about?

Over the years since his introduction the Joker has been portrayed in many different ways by different writers in comics, cartoons, and movies (compare the 1950's Joker to the current one to see what I mean). Between the three times the Joker has appeared in movies (played by Cesar Romero(who also played the Joker in the 60's TV show), Jack Nicholson, and Heath Ledger) the first is different from the last two. There are also the Jokers from the different cartoons (the two Batman ones, The Brave and the Bold, and the Super Friends). There have been so many different takes on the Joker in comics that I wouldn't know where to start. They range from plain goofy to violently homicidal.

Something to think about.

Personally I think if the Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger Jokers were combined it would be the perfect Joker, an intelligent and utterly unpredictable psychopath with absolutely no redeeming characteristics.

Joker is one of the biggest examples of an ENTP I have ever seen.

Harley Quinn, I am not sure. I would guess ENFP, but I am just not confidant about it. Nevertheless, HQ is hilarious.

Right, forgot that phrase I was going to add.
"But in case you're acting, I have to say that you're brilliant." I swear for my INTPness (see what I did?) I thought of it.

I'm bad at knowing when someone is joking online anyways. How am I supposed to know?

Heath Ledger's Joker has Ne flying around everywhere. I say ENTP.

I was going to say that... but okay...

Joker is totes a magnificent bastard which is a trope MADE of ENTP...


Also... most of the internet happens to agree... and if the internet says so, it MUST be true :P

Naw, even that description of the Magnificent Bastard sounds more like a Cobra to me.

ENTPs don't really deserve the stereotype of being manipulative that I keep seeing ascribed to them.

In my experience, ENTP manipulation tactics don't work too well on INTPs...
Lucky for the ENTP, most of the population is not INTP.

Use the force! Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to help too much either :P

Lets have a quick test.

No wonder why you can't differentiate truth from deceit, your an idiot. It should be painfully obvious to you, you motherfucker, but no.. you couldn't even see a piece of shit even if it hit you in the face.

Hint to make it easier.

Crap, I thought you weren't kidding for 3 seconds. Ah... I'll blame my age.

All in all I think generally the Joker is somewhat balanced (or would that be unbalanced?) between ESTP and ENTP.
Many people have contributed to the Jokers development since his first appearance in BATMAN #1.
Most people do not think of the Joker as being logical, but he is in his own way.
Pragmatic, spontaneous, observent, intelligent, adaptable, likes action, focuses on getting results, ingenious, outspoken, creative and resourceful problem solver, active, impulsive, and let's not forget realistic. He's all this and more.
